"You'll never find love in such human beings": SA outraged by lady entitled to boyfriend's money

Fathers always take the news the hardest when their sons come out as gay. The patriarchy did not prepare for such a glitch.

The dads start questioning the children's masculinity and sometimes shut down the idea of being anything but a heterosexual man. This results in the sons living in secret, going back and forth between the two worlds, trying to keep themselves and their families at peace.

One South African man had to wait until his father's passing before he could fully live as a gay guy. He shared the news while installing an orange wig at a salon and filmed the experience. 

He captioned the clip:

"When I just lost my father, and now I get to live my life. It is deep in here."
